If there is to be a Cinderella in a hockey tournament, it would be Niagara. Of the 16 teams playing in the NCAA tournament this year, Niagara is seeded 15th. They are up against the number one team in their region, a team that had only five losses all season and 32 victories. Pretty daunting!… Continue reading Niagara versus Michigan
Lei and I wound, literally, our way through the will call line to get our tickets. There was a slight problem as they had been purchased using Ed’s credit card but he was not there so we had a copy of it. He had spoken to the ticket company and they had said this would… Continue reading Clarkson versus St Cloud State
The day started out a bit slow. Elise and I couldn’t leave home until the two school-aged boys had gotten on the bus. Of course, due to the lovely spring weather in Binghamton, they had a two hour school delay. It was rather icy out from the look out all windows in the house and… Continue reading Road Trip Day One
I know you are all probably thinking I am nuts. March is almost over, as I was reminded this morning by my mother who was wondering if March came in like a lion or a lamb as it is looking like it is going out like a lion. This month Sarah Ban Breathnach is discussing… Continue reading Simple Abundance – March 2008

The workshop leader was so smart and decided to break this into three weekly parts to… Continue reading Canvas with Tissue Paper

I have some of my shots below. I have always spent a lot of time in the out of… Continue reading Photography
I am not sure if I am referring to the suddenly, totally white ground outside or the NCAA college basketball tournament. Actually, I live in upstate NY. I know I am referring to the tournament. I was excited as I drove home from the CHA Tournament last weekend and listened to the NCAA tournament selection… Continue reading March Madness – For Real
This is truly a reprise of a post from many years ago on my Yahoo! 360 blog. Unfortunately, I don’t want to go through all of those posts to find this so it will be a new post about the same topic. Most people believe that Christmas is the pivotal holiday in the Christian year. … Continue reading Holy Week
Of course, there are those out there who will say I have no right to talk about race. I grew up in a town that had two black families and they weren’t looked on as black. I am white, Anglo-Saxon. But, now that the card has been played in the presidential campaigns, I am going… Continue reading The “Race” Card is Played
